Thank you for the Sooji dhokla recipe Manjula aunty. I have only tried couple of your recipes but already a fan of yours. I like the originality in your videos. Will probably see you around in USA :-).
Could you please fix the written step 1 to add turmeric also in below:
Mix the sooji, yogurt, salt, lemon juice, green chili, and cilantro together and make a smooth batter of a pouring consistency. Add water if needed.

Dear Aunty,
Thanks a lot for this recipe. I love dhokla but couldn’t make it often as my family’s stomachs are very sensitive to besan. I surely will try with sooji. Does it taste good when cool too? Am asking if I can use it for my kids’ lunch boxes?
Will appreciate your reply.

Madhavi

Thanks Manjula Aunty. I have tried dhokla manytimes before but it was never this good however I used almost same ingredients.
Then I tried your recipe on youtube today it came wonderfully soft and fluffy.

Hi Manjulaji, this doklas are amazing, they came out delicious, my inlaws loved them, and they are very picky when I cook something. just one question for you, Where are you from? are you gujarati, since you are making everything without onion and garlic?

I try soji dhokla yesterday, i don’t know what i did wrong but dhokla came out very sticky.i did every thing what you infrom on receipt,i let soji & dahi (curd) stay for 30 minutes to format. i was in tears when my dhokla did not came out right.please help me to find what i did wrong.
dhokla was very sticky does not wants to een touch it.

the dhokla recipe looks exciting, Ive tried makng Dhoklas in the past but have always failed. Please let me know wether it is mandatory to use Eno Salt, or is sodium bicarbonate sufficent,If yes where can it be procuresd locally

i regularly make this dhokla, however, i just make them immediately and they turn out excellent. actually sugee is a substitute for the traditional dhoklas which require atleast 6 -8 hrs of soaking. made them instantly when i’ve had guests. if you have sour curd, then lemon is not required. best wishes to all!

There must be some substitute for Eno in the recipe for Dhokla. Eno fruit salt isnt something that was handy when dhokla’s were being made in India generations ago. How did they make dhokla’s the traditional way? Please Manjula, I love your recipes and am open to modern short cuts, but for the most part I try to avoid adding chemicals to my food-please give me a substitute for Eno!

I love watching your cooking videos. I have tired couple of your recipes and it was delicious. I love your Dhokla recipe, it looks so simple to make. I will make it at my Diwali party for sure.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful recipes

Having leaved in New Zealand and Australia all my life, I have learnt Indian cooking from your beautiful recipes…..I didn’t know what Dhokla was until I recently watched the movie 3 Idiots!! Thank you for taking us into your kitchen and sharing your receipes. I have tried your dhokla receipe, and I love it. Many thanks.

hi,mam
u share great recipes n with easiest way.my question to u for particular this recipe is about using cooking soda instead of eno? because my dhokla did not come up soft n spongy when i tried it with eno.

Hello manjula auntie,
thank you for the wonderful dhokla recepie and all the other recepies.
Could you please suggest me any substitute to ENO as i could not find it here.
It will be very kind of you.
Thanks,
regards
Shivrani

Manjula, I got the best compliment this evening. I was making your Mattar Paneer, and as it was simmering, a representative for the electric company paid us a visit. He was Indian, and he immediately said "This smells like my mother's cooking." -Hattie H.
